It's been a great couple of days for the Britney Army. First, the queen received the first-ever Icon Award at the Radio Disney Music Awards. Then, it was revealed a Piece Of Me stop in South Korea is on the agenda. And now, another gem: Britney has plans to put forth a special edition of Glory for her Japanese fans in collaboration with the upcoming Asia leg the run. According to a new listing on Amazon Japan, the release will feature two discs: one with Glory (that includes the Japanese bonus track "Mood Ring"), and the other is a greatest hits compilation – essentially, the Piece Of Me setlist (note the "Dragon Man Mix" of MATM sans Madonna).

The soft commercial performance of 2013's Britney Jean made it clear that it was time for Britney Spears to shake up her recording career – a move made somewhat less urgent due to the success of Britney: Piece of Me, the residency show she launched at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood a few months after the release of Britney Jean. Sin City's influence can be heard within the splashiness of the arrangements of certain portions of Glory, the 2016 album designed to be Britney's return to the Top 40. To that end, Glory downplays the show biz glitz of Vegas in favor of modern dance-pop, one with EDM undercurrents and hip-hop overtones…

Britney Jean is Britney Spears' eighth studio album and was released in late fall 2013. The album has been described by Spears as the most personal record from her catalog yet, and features collaborations with numerous producers including Sia Furler, will.i.am, William Orbit, and Naughty Boy. Spears co-wrote each track on the album, which is a concept album about the loneliness of pop life. Two singles have been released thus far, "Work Bitch" and "Perfume".

Anybody seeking an exhaustive Britney Spears compilation has been waiting for a collection like 2013's The Essential Britney Spears. Where other Britney compilations ran no longer than a single CD, this is a double-disc set with over 30 tracks more than enough space for all of her hit American singles, although that does mean that there are some singles from non-U.S. territories that are missing in action. Usually, the earliest of these are the ones most notable the sugary "Born to Make You Happy" is the greatest omission, but "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know," "I Love Rock N Roll," and "Anticipating" are all absent, along with latter-day dance and European singles "MMM Papi" and "Lace and Leather," European singles like "Someday (I Will Understand)" but only hardcore fans will notice what's absent, as all the hits are here
